Hi Harlan, "How about diabetics in the move theatres." I am refering to diabetics going to the movies and not being able to bring their own snacks. I had a bad experience when I went to the movies where I was told that I could not bring my own things into the movies. The guard told me that he don't care if I was a diabetic and if I wanted to come into the theatre I would have to take my diabetic stuff out to my car. Needless to say I left that theatre never to return again. I carry a small pouch with me every where I go for emergencies, I had a small tangerine, some mints, and a few other things that I might need in case of having lows.

If I am not going through a metal detection NO ONE is putting their nose in my bag. Time to change theaters or rent Netflix. If he is denying you your diabetic items and you have paperwork saying that you are in fact a diabetic…I would take a trip to civil claims court and start suing. That's life threatening and discrimination. I would own that theater by the time the next Will Smith movie came out, lol

My boss was really helpful when I was diagnosed. One of my co-workers was diagnosed about the same time so we had a safety meeting and explained it. We informed everyone about lows and highs and the emotions that go along with it and what they could do to help. Now instead of having sugary snacks with staff meetings, we might have a veggie plate. Sometimes it's better to make sure someone around knows the problems that you could have. I do understand that some employers are more *** than the federal government but maybe go to a friend.

My principal works with me and my condition she says anyone, student, teacher or anyone else tries to be mean or if they get rude to come to her and if under her arthority she will take care of them, suspension or expulsion…
